Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a lighting fixture for a vanity unit.

Recently, wash cabinets that include a mirror supported on the wall above the wash basin that includes a wash bowl, and wash basin vanities that integrate the wash basin, mirror, and storage shelf have become widely popular. These products have lighting fixtures on both sides of the mirror for the convenience of the user.

This invention relates to this lighting equipment.

If the entire vanity unit is small, it is possible to install a mirror and lighting equipment and provide a storage section by integral molding of plastic.
When the size becomes to a certain extent, it becomes difficult to integrate them into one piece due to molding restrictions.

Therefore, this invention aims to provide a lighting fixture for a vanity unit that is easy to manufacture and easy to replace, by manufacturing the lighting fixture separately and assembling it into the body of the vanity unit.

The following will explain the embodiments shown in the drawings.

The bathroom vanity unit 1 has a washstand located at its lower part, and is used either by hanging it on a wall or by fixing the entire unit to the wall with screws or the like.

This bathroom vanity unit 1 generally consists of a mirror 2 and lighting fixtures 3 on both sides, and an outlet and a switch 4 are provided at the bottom of the mirror 2 (see FIG. 1).

There are cutouts 6 on the top and bottom of the frame 5 that comes into contact with the wall surface.
The mirror back plate 7 formed with the above is fixed with screws 8, and the mirror 2 is attached to this mirror back plate 7 with double-sided tape 9 which also serves as a cushioning material. 10 are fitted into the upper and lower edges of the mirror 2 and the notch 6, and screws 11 are screwed into the mirror back plate 7 from the mirror stopper 10, thereby constructing the vanity unit 1 including the mirror 2.

The lighting equipment 3 is attached and fixed to the frame 5 on both sides of the mirror 2.

The lighting fixture 3 includes a mounting bracket 12 that is fixed to the frame 5, a side cover 13 that is assembled to the mounting bracket 12 with screws and covers the side edge, a fluorescent lamp cover 14, and is fixed to the inside of the mounting bracket 12 by welding or other means. It consists of a fluorescent lamp fixture 15 and a tube bulb 16.

The mounting bracket 12 is obtained by bending a band plate,
The mounting board 12a to the vertical beam of the frame 5 and the connecting plate 12b that is perpendicular to the frame 5 form a substantially L shape, and the mounting piece 12c is extended in an F-shape to the edges of the mounting board 12a and the connecting plate 12b. It is set up.

This mounting bracket 12 is configured such that its mounting board 12a is fixed to the frame 5 with screws 17. Although not shown, the screws 17 may be long screws that reach the wall surface so that the bathroom vanity unit 1 and the rest can be fixed to the wall surface.

The side cover 13 is attached to the mounting bracket 12 with screws 18.
It covers and reinforces the continuous plate 12b.

The fluorescent lamp cover 14 is made of a translucent material such as acrylic resin, and is fixed to the mounting piece 12c of the mounting bracket 12 with screws 19. Since the screws 19 of the fluorescent lamp cover 14 are often removed for replacing and cleaning the bulb 16, the screws 19 in the illustrated example are knurled screws.

Note that 20 is a molding that fits over the edge of the fluorescent lamp cover 14.

This idea consists of the above-mentioned configuration, and since the lighting equipment is provided separately, there is no size restriction, and installation is simple as only screws are needed. If you use long screws, you can attach it directly to the wall.

The fluorescent lamp cover 14 has mounting pieces 12c on both sides thereof.
Since it is covered with a screw 19 and secured with a screw 19, it will not come off due to vibrations, etc., and can be easily removed for replacing the bulb 16 or cleaning the inside by removing the screw 19 located on the front. It can be done easily.

Since the lighting fixtures 3 are provided on both sides of the mirror 2, it can be said that it is suitable for a large bathroom vanity unit.
